Ingoma Yesivini
1 Ngizahlabelela lowo engimthandayo
ingoma ngesivini sakhe:
Othandwa yimi wayelesivini
eqaqeni oluvundileyo.
2 Wasigebha, wasusa amatshe kuso,
wahlanyela kuso amavini amahle.
Wakha umphotshongo ophakemeyo phakathi kwaso
njalo wagebha lesikhamelo sewayini kuso.
Walindela izithelo ezinhle,
kodwa amavini athela ezimbi kuphela.
3 “Manje-ke lina abahlala eJerusalema lani madoda akoJuda,
yahlulelani phakathi kwami lesivini sami.
4 Kuyini okudlula lapho okwakumele kwenziwe esivinini sami
engingakwenzanga kuso na?
Lapho ngangilindele izithelo ezinhle
kungani sona sathela ezimbi kuphela na?
5 Khathesi-ke sengizalitshela
engizakwenza esivinini sami:
Ngizasusa uthango lwaso;
sizadilizwa.
Ngizabhidliza umduli waso,
sizagxotshwa ngezinyawo.
6 Ngizasenza sibe liganga
kungabikho ukuthenwa kumbe ukuhlakulwa;
inkotha lameva kuzakhula kuso.
Ngizalaya amayezi
anganisi zulu kuso.”
7 Isivini sikaThixo uSomandla
yindlu ka-Israyeli;
abantu bakoJuda
bayinsimu eligugu kuye.
Wayelindele okufaneleyo,
kodwa wabona ukuchitheka kwegazi;
endaweni yokulunga, wezwa ukukhala kosizi.
Izikhalazo Lezahlulelo
8 Maye kini elengeza izindlu ngezindlu
lihlanganise insimu ensimini
kuze kusweleke indawo eseleyo,
njalo lihlala lodwa elizweni.
9 UThixo uSomandla usetshilo ngisizwa wathi:
“Ngeqiniso izindlu ezinengi zizakuba ngamanxiwa;
ezinkulu ezinhle zisale zingaselamuntu ohlala kuzo.
10 Izindima ezilitshumi zesivini
zizathela ifatshi elilodwa lewayini,
ihomeri lenhlanyelo lithele ihefa lamabele.”
11 Maye kulabo abavuka ngovivi ekuseni
begijimela ukunatha utshwala;
abaqhubekayo kuze kube phakathi kobusuku
baze badakwe butshwala.
12 Balamachacho lemihubhe emadilini abo,
amagedla, imihlanga, lewayini,
kodwa kabazinaki izenzo zikaThixo,
akukho nhlonipho yomsebenzi wezandla zakhe.
13 Ngakho-ke abantu bami bazakuya ekuthunjweni
ngenxa yokungazwisisi;
izikhulu zabo zizabulawa yindlala
lenengi labo lizakoma ngomhawu wamanzi.
14 Ngakho indawo yabafileyo izakwelula imihlathi yayo,
ikhamise umlomo wayo okungelamkhawulo;
izikhulu zabo lenengi labo bawele phakathi
labo bonke abaxokozelayo labazithokozisayo.
15 Abantu bazakwehliselwa phansi,
abantu bazathobekiswa,
amehlo abaziphakamisayo athotshiswe.
16 Kodwa uThixo uSomandla uzaphakanyiswa
ngokwahlulela kwakhe okuhle;
ubungcwele bukaNkulunkulu
buzabonakala ngokulunga kwakhe.
17 Lapho-ke izimvu zizakudla angathi kusemadlelweni azo,
amazinyane adle emanxiweni ezinothi.
18 Maye kulabo abahudula isono ngentambo zenkohliso
lobubi kungathi kungamagoda enqola,
19 kulabo abathi, “UNkulunkulu kaphangise,
kaphangisise umsebenzi wakhe
ukuze siwubone.
Kalisondele icebo loNgcwele ka-Israyeli
kalize ukuze silazi.”
20 Maye kulabo abathi okubi kuhle
bathi okuhle kubi,
ababeka umnyama esikhundleni sokukhanya;
ukukhanya esikhundleni somnyama;
ababeka okubabayo esikhundleni sokumnandi,
okumnandi esikhundleni sokubabayo.
21 Maye kulabo abahlakaniphileyo emehlweni abo
njalo besile ekuboneni kwabo.
22 Maye kulabo abangamaqhawe ekunatheni iwayini
njalo bezintshantshu ekuhlanganiseni okunathwayo,
23 abakhulula abalamacala ngenxa yokufunjathiswa.
Kodwa banqabele abamsulwa imfanelo yabo.
24 Ngakho-ke, njengalokhu umlilo utshisa inhlanga,
utshani obomileyo buphelela phakathi kwamalangabi,
ngokunjalo impande zabo zizabola.
Lamaluba abo aphephuke njengothuli;
ngoba bawalile umthetho kaThixo uSomandla
balidelela ilizwi loNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
25 Ngakho ulaka lukaThixo luzavutha ebantwini bakhe;
isandla sakhe siphakeme njalo uyabatshaya.
Izintaba ziyanyikinyeka,
izidumbu zabafileyo zinjengezibi ezindleleni.
Ikanti kukho konke lokhu ulaka lwakhe kaluphelanga,
isandla sakhe silokhu siphakanyisiwe.
26 Uphakamisela izizwe ezikude uphawu,
ubatshayela ikhwelo abasemaphethelweni omhlaba.
Nampa besiza
ngokuphangisa langejubane!
27 Kakho omunye wabo odinwayo loba okhubekayo,
kakho owozelayo kumbe olalayo,
akukho bhanti elixegiswayo ekhalweni,
akukho ntambo yenyathelo equmekileyo.
28 Imitshoko yabo ibukhali,
wonke amadandili abo agotshisiwe;
amasondo amabhiza abo afana lelitshe elilukhuni,
amavili ezinqola zabo zokulwa anjengesivunguzane.
29 Ukubhonga kwabo kufana lokwesilwane,
babhonga njengezilwane ezikhulayo,
bayabhavuma lapho bebamba inyamazana edliwayo,
babaleke layo kungekho ongabemuka.
30 Ngalolosuku bazabhavumela phezu kwayo
njengokubhavuma kolwandle.
Njalo nxa umuntu ekhangela ilizwe,
uzabona umnyama losizi;
lelanga lizakwenziwa libe mnyama ngamayezi.
